What 1st car do you recommend?

Hi, I am 17 and looking for my first car; what do you recommend?

Our answer:

Hi Carlos,

Depends on budget. Got some money to spend? Get a Volkswagen up!, SEAT Mii or Skoda Citigo. Cracking small cars, brilliant to drive and they look quite funky. 

On a tight budget? You're going to hate me but... 1993 to 2002 Nissan Micra. Nicer to drive than you think, solidly reliable and with that crucial-for-insurance 1.0-litre engine.
